Not to surprising given you asked which was better. Those using one may really like them but may have no experience with other to he able to properly answer your question.

I didn't even look at other ones. I just went with the 1' Hotchkis. And yes you will need a alignment. Now there might be a differance I have a square wheel set up. And I really liked the ride. But I took mine off right after I had my QTP Cutout installed.

Hotchkis. I got about a 1.25-1.5 drop and the ride is great. After install I had my alignment done. My fronts were right on but my rear was out quite a bit.

Will I need a "Camber Kit"?Or can the wheel alignment be adjusted normally ?

Our cars have camber adjustment built in. No additional camber hardware required.
